I picked up a Quest 3 headset, with the thoughts of using it coding when I had to deal with a hotel style work desk. The text was just not sharp enough to be usable for programming.
Same, while I use it for Beat Saber all the time, after testing virtual desktop and the new native desktop sharing, I quickly abandoned attempts to use it for work.
Not only because of the resolution, but also it’s tiring to have something strapped to your face, and it makes it hard to have a cup of coffee or a snack.
I’ve done the same with a q3 and virtual desktop for a few weeks and hours at a time when I didn’t have a good monitor. I could run a 4k screen after tweaking the settings a bit. (And using a dummy hdmi plug so an external monitor was not needed)
It was best curved and large (and angled down a bit) so that I use it like it is 4 1080p screens. And move head to see each (and a bit more) sharp.
The newer version (tested briefly) lets you arrange several virtual monitors wherever. Not as convenient/sharp as a large 4k tv/monitor on my desk, but for a backup monitor and mobile it was great. I’ll give it a shot again.
Not GP but I use Virtual Desktop with decent home Wifi so I can max out the quality settings.
(I can even work remotely if both sides have very fast broadband)
One caveat - this is an alternative to using a laptop and my eyesight is somewhat flawed due to middle age. If you're a 20-something with perfect vision and an addiction to 4k screens then this is probably a step down. For me it's on par with my non-VR experience.
I use Virtual Desktop over home WiFi. I don't even really tweak it beyond that, but I'll sit at an empty desk with a wireless kb+m and a few virtual monitors. Works well!
